Russia included large numbers of Poles
from Russian Polands, and many Men
nonites and Greeks. More came from
little Switzerland than is commonly
supposed. The number of Cinnamon
is below the usual estimate, not being
a quarter of one per cent. Certainly
the China-phobists are troubled about
a very small matter, - there would be
less than one Chinaman in each 400 of
the population if all who cam here
had remained, and were now living.
Just about as many have come from
Russia.

on complaint of Senior Robes, Chancellor
of the state Of Cnihuahus, who alleges
that Garcia called him a thief in
ObservsdOr Fronteriz \, a newspaper which
Garcia publishes in FL Paso. The charge
is simply for circulating the paper IN

porter to-day that he had been in jail
nine days, shut in G. foul
dungeon with other prisoners, some of
whom were almost eaten with syphilis,
AID that the jailor had con-
tagious disease and had prOfered bail,
but the mayor, who had biz arrested, re-
fused TO except it and had turned the
case over to Judge Zubia, who pre-
sided over the COu1. which he'd tried
Cutting. He was told that his applica-
ton for bail would have 10 go before the
Supreme court at Cnihushua for approval
before the local judge could consider
it. Garcia also said that he had demand

nished a clerk TO write, but it had not
been allowed him. He further says that

Cleveland in 'SS

NEW YORK, April l9.-Under the head
of "The President and the New York
Democrats" the Times this morning
says: We observe that some of our ex-
changes are discussing, as though it were
q doubtful matter, the attitude of the
Democrats of New York toward President
Cleveland, and this discussion has refer
ence particularly to the question of Mr..
CleVeland's denomination and election.
We are not without means Of information
upon this point, and we have taken some
pans 10 ascertain the truth about it. We
find that those Democrats VINO know what
the party feeling is and are willing to state
it without prejudice or concealment
agree IN opinion that the Democracy of
the state of New York is well disposed
toward President Cleveland that if
state convention were to be- held tO-mor-
row it would send to the national cOrveu-
ton delegation substantially unani-
m0usly in favor of his denomination.
SO far as the eye Cf political prophecy
Can penetrate the future there is no cause
for change visible, or to be appreheud-
ed, which might turn the tide Of party
sentiment against the President. The
party organizations in the state,
though not free from differ
ences as 10 Mr.. CIevelanC's policy,
as TO the ACCESSIBILITY of his denomination
are most decidedly to be- set down as
favorable to him and as likely to shape
their future action with the view OF
placing him in the field and supporting
him Loyalty in 1888. As this statement
may surprise some persons who, without
knowing il, have imagined a different
state Of things, We will add
tina. large number OF Democratic
politicians who not long ago were
unable to conceal their distaste for an
administration conducted on reform
principles have wisely concluded that the
presidential nomination OF tle party in
1888, if hot given 10 Mr.. Cleveland would
be worth very little to any one else. The
prevalence of much untruthful and ma
licious gossip about the President and
his party makes this statement OF facts
timely and NECESSARY.
